Videos 110 Years of Alfa Romeo - A date with history

[Rolf]

To all the Italian car fans, Alfa Romeo has always been a brand with a passion to build cars that are beautiful to look at and be thrilling to drive.

110 years has passed since their first car was introduced and through the years they have brought out some stunning automobiles that have made a huge and interesting history for the brand.

I personally have a soft spot for older Alfa's as I had quite a few friends and family members that owned Alfas when I was younger.

Identical to the first of two Giulia Supers that a cousin of mine owned way back when (although I believe that his car was a 1970 model):

The Giulia Super, I can never forget that car as one Italian friend of mine owned a cream coloured one when I was a kid. What I remember most was the glorious sounding engine and the unusual squarish body shape.

Alfa, the original BMW, killed by the downfall of the Italian nation.

I can still recall the enthusiasm that was generated when the BMW 1600/2 was first presented to the public back in 1966. Until then, the Alfa-Romeo Giulia sedan enjoyed a monopoly when it came to compact distinctively sporty sedans. It sold very well here in Germany. While the "Neue Klasse" BMW 4 doors, presented 4 years prior to the 1600/2 were very popular, they actually lured more former M-B, Opel and Ford customers into BMW showrooms rather than commanding sales from traditional Giulietta and Giulia sedan buyers. It was the 2 door 1600/2 and its' later more powerful derivatives that launched a massive assault on Giulia sales here in Germany.

As a 12 year old, I recall absolutely BEGGING my dad to buy a 1600/2. He went for a VW 1600L Variant instead. That was a bummer.
